Based on true events, best friends, Carmen and Bolude, must travel from New York to Sydney to collect 100 welcomes in ten days so that Bolude’s Nigerian father will agree to let her marry an Australian.
Wild and wacky, with an endearing charm, this wedding narrative serves as the comical exterior for the beating heart of the film – Lisa Nystrom, FilmInk
Carmen & Bolude is inventive, cheeky, and full of heart. I laughed, and teared up and had the theme song stuck in my head for the next week. It’s packed with discourse about race, whiteness, community and belonging. – IMDb Featured Review (author unknown)
With its blend of humour, heart, and cultural celebration, Carmen & Bolude promises to be one of the most exciting Australian films of 2024. The film not only brings diverse female voices to the forefront but also offers a refreshing and joyous cinematic experience. –
